  1. Well, it has warmed about one (1) degree over the past 100 years. I have lived the majority of those years and didn't notice it. The only time I noticed anything was about 30 years ago when all the Scientists said it was getting colder and because of pollution we were all going to freeze. I got really cold.


  2. This summer.  Just hang on a couple of more months.

    )

  3. When you grow up, if you survive, read the newspaper.

  4. Don't worry about global warming. In a few years the earth will cool and we will be worried about freezing. Liberals are just trying to scare you into voting for them.

  5. Gradually over the next 40 years.

    But don't be scared.  We can fix this.

  6. global warming isn't happening, you need to get some thermals

    global warming is already happening

    We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

    Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

    One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

    Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

    Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

    1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

    2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

    It’s pretty easy to see the results..

    Melting ice sheets & glaciers

    Floods & droughts

    Great hurricanes & cyclones

    Seasonal extremes

    Seasonal phenomena’s

    Species extinction

    New & resurgent diseases

    There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

    I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

    If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

    Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at http://www.agua-luna.com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

  8. I Am Legend had nothing to do with global warming, the movie (which was greatly inferior to the book) tied it to human genetic manipulaton, but even this link to human actions was absent in the original (and superior) work.

    But to answer your question, if by global warming you mean the progressive, though slow increase in average global temperatures, this has been happening for some time now and continues today.  If you mean the various doomsday scenarios being floated by Al Gore and others of his ilk, the answer is never.

  9. It won't, it's a figment of Al Gore's imagination.

  10. It started in 1989, that was when the Lexus Libs cashed in their Beemers for SUVs.  Now they all have Toyongda Pious cars and give all non-Pious drivers the finger, except when it rains.  They are progressive.
